People are moved by this homeless man’s story of helping the Manchester victims

In the words of the UK Prime Minister Theresa May, we experienced the worst of humanity as a bomber caused devastation at an Ariana Grande concert on Monday night. But we also saw the best.

Case in point Stephen Jones — a homeless man who was near the scene of the Manchester Arena blast.

In an interview with ITV News, he describes rushing to help injured people after hearing a huge bang, which he initially thought was fireworks.

“Just because I’m homeless, it doesn’t mean I haven’t got a heart and I’m not human still,” the man said.

“It’s just instinct to go and help if someone needed your help, and it was children, it was a lot of children with a lot of blood on them screaming and crying.”

He also described how he had to hold a woman’s legs up. “We just held her legs up because we thought she was just going to bleed right out,” he said.”It had to be done, you had to help – if I didn’t help I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”

Many people sang the praises of the man on Twitter and suggested helping him to find accommodation:

@itvnews@ohsomint (2) find this man to offer him a bed to sleep, food and clothes? I will personally pay for the stuff to help him out @itvnews??
